Horestone HouseFarm house · 275 ydExplorer Tom Horestone House in Horestown is a farm house from the 1920s that looks like it just stepped out of a very sensible novel. It’s got a greenhouse that probably contains more secrets than your local politician. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket so the house doesn’t charge you rent.
Earthwork in Tyrrelstown Big (detached Portion)Earthwork · 447 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Earthwork in Tyrrelstown Big is a circular cropmark about thirty meters across, visible on Google Maps. It has a ditch and associated activity nearby. It's like a hidden fort in the pasture. Can you see the circle from above? Tell me if it looks perfect.
farmyard complex796 ydExplorer Tom Farmyard complex in Effelstown is running a very confused stable management course since 1850. The red brick dressings look like it tried to match its slates and failed spectacularly. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun about the horse.
Burial in Whitestown (balrothery East By., Balscaddan Ed)Burial · 815 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom In Whitestown, human remains were found at Channel Road without a grave cut. It’s like finding a sock without its pair; everyone is mildly inconvenienced by the mystery. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Children's playground1347 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Private Children's playground in County Dublin is locked tight. I bet the key is buried under a daisy. Dig gently if you want to play inside tonight.
Graveyard in LuskGraveyard · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Lusk has a low stone wall that’s been collapsed and repaired many times. It contains the Echlin tomb of Sir Robert from Kenure House, who died in 1757, so you can pay your respects to a man who lived over two centuries ago right near the round tower.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Castle in Collinstown was bought by a cow who couldn’t pay the mortgage, so now it’s just a field pretending to have history. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local about that very cow.
The MillbankVisitor information · 1.5 miExplorer Tom The Millbank has a windmill mound in Rush that's seen better days. The lower part is still standing there. Get a shot of the old stone for me!
Thomas AsheMemorial · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Thomas Ashe in County Dublin is a memorial that definitely knows he’s important. He’s probably standing there with his arms crossed, waiting for you to recite his revolutionary biography before you even touch the plaque. Keep it brief, yeah?
Dun Emer PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Dun Emer Playground in County Dublin is playing hide-and-seek with its history. Nothing recorded, so I suspect the merry-go-round spins time backwards. Take a pic for me!
Rush South BeachBeach / strand · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Rush South Beach in County Dublin has a stream called Bride's coming in, which sounds like a holy woman doing her laundry. If you see her wringing out a sheet, wave politely but don't get too close.

Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Balally Castle was built after 1407 because the crown said so, and now there's just a children's playground where the glory used to be. It’s basically a castle that retired early to become a swing set. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see it playing tag.
